Board authorizes superintendent to seek termination of Oak Street IGA so donor and city may advance field plans
Summary
The board authorized the superintendent to execute an agreement terminating an existing intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with the city for recreational use of the Oak Street property, contingent on city approval, so a donor and the city can pursue plans for a potential covered soccer field.
Administrators told the board that an existing intergovernmental agreement (IGA) between the district and the city governing recreational use of the Oak Street property is not needed to accomplish the original purpose. The IGA lacks termination language, and district counsel and city staff reviewed a cancellation draft.
The board moved to authorize the superintendent to execute an agreement terminating the existing Oak Street IGA contingent upon city approval so that a donor and the city may develop plans (permits and drawings) for a proposed soccer facility. The motion was seconded and passed unanimously.
Why it matters: Termination of the IGA would remove a procedural layer so the city and a private donor can pursue permitting and planning for recreational development on district-owned land; the district will retain ownership rights and city permitting remains necessary.
Next steps: If the city approves termination at its next meeting, administrators said they will work with the donor to develop site plans and return to the board with more detailed proposals and permit needs.
